Climate change must be urgently addressed to ensure global food security, according to experts speaking at the World Government Summit in Dubai.
Speaking at the summit on Tuesday morning, UAE Minister of Climate Change and the Environment Dr Thani Ahmed Al Zeyoudi noted that, on a global scale, food continues to be wasted at a tremendous rate.
"We need quantum leaps in terms of agriculture and food. The world is actually wasting one-third of the food we produce, the equivalent of 2.6 trillion dollars," he said. "We need food efficiency in the same way we need energy efficiency."

"They depend on agriculture, and unless we control climate change, the poor are going to be affected the most."
